1st prize - “borrod” design by: line depping from denmark

designer's own words: In everyday life we always try to follow certain norms, have tidy homes for example, but often we feel a hint of bad conscience because we are not perfect as people. So why this quest for the impossible? My table allows our irrational chaotic lives to rule and by that showing that life can be perfect in its imperfection.

2nd prize - “teo stool” design by: luciana gonzalez franco + cristian mohaded from argentina

designer's own words: Taking a flexible material surface as starting point, net but subtile and harmonious lines are therefore defined, suggesting a great simplicity. It is an individual stool, folded and structured by four metal snap buttons placed on its bottom part. A wide range of materials and finishings are also possible: leather, steel, polypropylene, as well as different textures and patterns. This allows the customization of the product. Once unfolded its mainly bidimentional morphology optimizes transportation and storage tasks, not only during its commercialization but also within the domestic environment.

3rd prize - “yuki” design by: enrico fratesi + stine gam from italy

designer's own words: The furniture is growing out from a stylistic two-dimensional drawing of the typical japanese kimono using the technique of folding and bending, exactly as a japanese origami-figure that grows out from a flat piece of paper into the most sculptural shapes. The caracteristic overdimensioned squared sleeves from the kimono, becomes the personality of the furniture that embrace the sitting person; why the name Yuki. The furniture is upholstered and will be beautiful in textile as well leather, with stiches marking the lines of the kimono. The legs are in wood and refere to the typical wooden shoes that goes with the kimono.

開催概要

「シンプルであることはグッドデザインの必須条件だが、削ぎ落としていく作業はまったく難しいものだ。しかし、明快なコンセプトの上に立ち、作品自体がデザインの由来やその製造過程を物語るようなシンプルさは、他の作品を圧倒して際立つ。」シンプルさを、遊びの感覚や優雅さ、新鮮さと融合させて、ホーム家具やオフィス家具のデザインを提案するコンペ。椅子やテーブル、ソファなどが対象で（照明やコーヒーテーブルなどの小物類は含まず）、商品化を念頭に置いた具体性が必要。外見と機能性の両立が不可欠で、曖昧なコンセプトは問題外。

Description
'Simplicity is an essential quality of good design. And it is one of the most complicated things in life, because you have to take away, take away...
It is the start from a precise executive and functional concept, and the designer should be able to explain over the phone why his object is designed in a certain way and how it ought to be made - so simple that it endows the object with a distinctive character.'
Combine simplicity with playfulness, elegance, freshness, and contemporary spirit in home and office furniture design.
We are looking for innovative chairs, tables, sofas, containers,...(lighting, coffee tables and other small accessories are not accepted). Please don't send in vague concepts, but go a step further. As DEPADOVA might wish to produce some of the most interesting projects, please consider the feasibility of manufacturing. The jury will award designs and concepts which are innovative in terms of their formal aspects as well as their functional ones.
